A Case of Frosted Branch Angiitis

ABSTRACT

Frosted branch angiitis menifests with acute visual loss in an otherwise young healthy patient. The fundus findings are dramatic and characterized by severe white sheathing of the retinal vessels. A variable amount of anterior chamber and vitreous inflammation also occur. Fluorescein angiography demonstrates leakage of dye from the retinal vessels with no evidence of vascular stasis or occlusion. The clinical findings respond dramatically to systemic corticosteroids. The authors experienced a case of frosted branch angiitis which occured in 5year-old female whose fundus findings were marked white sheathing and macular thicking.
